Myself and friends have one major gripe with Ubuntu's MeMenu, that our real names are not used.

My name, for instance, is 'Danté', yet MeMenu uses our computer name, which is converted into 'dante'. I have friends with even more difficult names who have told me they find it slightly unsettling (and even, on some levels, insulting) that the computer does not use their proper name.

    gconftool -s /system/indicator/me/display --type int 2

That changes the MeMenu username to the User's actual name. I would suggest this to be default.
